Citizens United is perhaps the the worst Supreme Court decision since Dred Scott v. Sandford. One resulted in a Civil War, the other is destroying democracy. I am astonished how little citizen outcry there is about this. The pernicious effects have extended into the State level, which is even more vulnerable to influence and money. Having met a considerable number of them over the years I would observe State legislators, as a rule, are not very sophisticated in governance. Everything is more naked. And if there are term limits its even worse. The real power comes to reside in a permanent civil service that become tightly interlinked with special interests. And the effect on a state elective judiciary is proving to be devastating.
